It must be hard to be in constant interaction with people who are there for support when you yourself are dealing with your own issues. I do think though, that when people trust someone enough to talk to them, it is because they can see the good qualities in them. They can see that they are understanding, and will listen to you ... i find that nurses, or therapists/counsellors who have experience in what people are talking to them about is beneficial to them ... it lets them know that its okay for them to feel how they are, and makes them feel less judged. I know this from personal experience - on both ends. When i needed someone to talk to i felt more comfortable talking to someone who empathized with what i was saying, and when i was the person people can to, i felt i was better able to help them because it is something that i've experienced in one form or another. The only problem with this for you is that it can be REALLY draining. So when it comes down to it, it is your choice whether or not you want to stay on ... either way, its just important that you take care of yourself before you try and give too much of yourself to others. Have you talked with your T about how your feeling about this?

I know this must be a hard decision for you ... but i know that you can do it.
